Michael Albert, Zmag

Changing society isn't a matter of breaking windows. It is a process of developing consciousness and vehicles of organisation and movement, and of then applying these to win gains that benefit deserving constituencies and create conditions for still further victories leading to permanent institutional change. Cultivating movement coherence, trust and solidarity - not just a small affinity group but far more widely - is a big part of this agenda.

Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before a defeat.

Noam Chomsky

If you go to one demonstration and then go home, that's something. But the people in power can live with that. What they can't live with is sustained pressure that keeps building, organisations that keep doing things, people that keep learning lessons from last time and doing it better the next time.
